JAPAN'S exports fell for a 12th straight month in September from a year earlier, official data showed, as the yen's gains undermined export prices, but rising shipment volumes pointed to a tentative pick-up in global demand.
Ministry of Finance data issued on Monday showed Japan's exports fell 6.9 per cent in September from a year earlier, following a 9.6 per cent decline in August, dragged down by US-bound shipments of cars, China-bound shipments of electronics parts and exports of steel.
